about 30 mins ago, someone did a port scan on my computer. that is usually not a good thing. I instantly cranked up my firewall to the max setting. (my avs was updated yesterday) I was also monitoring my ports. I saw nothing for a a while, but when I clicked on my firefox shortcut, my computer restarted with out prompting my to save my work in anything. so I logged back in, and right clicked my firefox icon, and the target was "%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00" which I did not set the target to, because the would be stupid for me to do. I scanned my computer with AVG, and found hundreds of trogans and such, whick were all deleted. but I'm sure my cmd file is infected with something, I'm guessing a polymorphetic virus, because my antivirus didn't find anything on it, yet it's not working properly, also, the file size grew by 2 MBs, it's usually about 379kb. I can't run any commands in it, not even cd\ I was wondering if any one can help me attempt to trace the person that did this, I'd like to find out who did this, i do realize that they most likely covered their tracks nicely, I'd still like to attempt.
right now I'm running P.H.L.A.K, Professional Hackers Linux Assult Kit, for an operating system, I'm running it off of the cd

Ok, I replaced the cmd file from phlak with a backup a made a while ago. I'm back in windows and angry. I'm still wondering ways to track the person that hacked my tower, he(or she) will PAY

I suggest you get some real time protection for that computer.

Like a firewall to start.
